Wanted Wanted ,the rarest thing on earth

[kaydee]

Yes guys,I know the chances of any positive responses to this Wanted ad is somewhere around zero but I have to ask.
Does anyone have a WTB SST98,only the most comfortable saddle on the planet.I have money waiting for a good example or some very nice bits to trade,eg Red Chris King aheadset ,DT Swiss XXM130 forks for 26”wheels,XO 9 speed SRAM XO rear mech to mention but a few.
I hope my request for this rather elusive piece of Unicorn poo gets a response,I seriously doubt it will,but as my mum used to say “if you don’t ask ,you don’t get”
All the best guys,I won’t hold my breath.

I have a NOS one but wasn't really planning on parting with it. Hmmm, I'll have a ponder...

Such a tease....

 

[ferrus]

ha! no intention to tease, it was a sincere reply. A trade might be possible.

Wish this was mine, some good profit in this if it sales “can’t work out how to attach the right link”

Why does my memory tell me I think I binned one of those in better condition than on the Ebay link.

Think it was from an high end Stevens MTB.

Coloured saddles with embroidery not my thing. Embossed yes is OK.

Please don't tell me I have to live with Retrobike remourse (again, for more stuff) - only just getting over the last batch.

The saddle in the Ebay link above isn't actually the '98' version in question. This had grey fabric edges and was embroidered 'SST 98'. There were several other SST models over the years

Think I may have invested in like 5 mins in it research wise. Vague memories going through similar saddles from Bontrager claiming stuff like Kevlar Ballastic Grade High Density Nuclear Proof side bits when you lean your bike against the wall and it slides down because of ghosts in the wind.

Is it me, or in that Ebay advert are those side panels more like over used fuzzy felt?

It's the Space Ship and Dinosaur bits the game changer.
